St. Morris Custom Home: A Seamless Blend of Luxury and Accessibility
In the heart of Adelaide’s east, a striking St. Morris custom home has redefined what it means to live beautifully. Designed and built with both elegance and practicality in mind, this project demonstrates how thoughtful design can deliver comfort, accessibility, and sophistication in equal measure.
For our clients, the vision was clear: a home that would not only reflect their lifestyle but also accommodate specific accessibility needs. The result is a disability-accessible home that is as stylish as it is functional, proving that inclusivity and luxury can go hand in hand.
Designed for Accessibility
Every aspect of this custom build was carefully considered to ensure ease of movement and comfort. Wide hallways, seamless flooring transitions, and open-plan living areas make the home easy to navigate. Accessibility was not treated as an afterthought but as a core design principle that shaped the home from the ground up.
By prioritising these features, the home became a sanctuary for its owners, a place that empowers independence while still delivering the refinement expected of a luxury residence.
Smart Home Living
Technology played a central role in elevating this build. Fully automated systems were installed to allow effortless control of lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. With smart home automation, the owners can adjust their environment with ease, whether via touch, voice, or remote access.
This integration of technology makes the St. Morris custom home not only practical but also future-ready, providing convenience and peace of mind.

Indoor-Outdoor Connection
A defining element of this build was the focus on outdoor living. The stone-clad entertaining area was designed as a natural extension of the home, with large stacker doors opening to create a seamless flow between inside and out. The addition of a fireplace and ceiling fan ensures that the space can be enjoyed year-round, making it perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings.
This balance between comfort and connection to the outdoors is what sets this custom home apart, reflecting both modern lifestyle needs and timeless design values.
Luxury That Serves a Purpose
The beauty of this project lies in its balance. While every detail speaks to sophistication, from polished concrete to hydronic heating, none of it compromises accessibility. Instead, each design choice enhances the practicality of the home, proving that luxury can and should serve a purpose.
This is what makes custom homes so powerful: the ability to design around a client’s unique needs and create a space that is both aspirational and deeply personal.
